[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 624008, member: 13542"] I'm so sorry Bluebell. Do you know about NAMI? The National Alliance on Mental Illness? They have chapters everywhere and can be accessed online. I have found their parent courses to be very helpful. Do you have other supports in place for YOU? Therapy? Parent groups? It is SO very helpful to make sure we take care of US along the way, it is exhausting and depleting and it fills us with resentments because we end up holding the bag so often. I hear you. One way to balance all of that out is to make sure [B][U]you[/U][/B] are taken care of. Get massages, have your nails done, go out to dinner with your husband and your girlfriends. Go for a long walk in a beautiful area. Make sure you are manufacturing JOY in your life...................we matter as much as our kids do. Hang in there Bluebell. We're all here. You're not alone. Sending a big hug............ [/QUOTE]
